Opposite trans-effects of benzyl isocyanide in heme models
Abstract
Benzyl isocyanide exerts trans-effects on methylimidazole dissociation from tetragonal FeII complexes of phthalocyanine, bisdimethylglyoxime, and 2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclodeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene whose magnitude and direction are markedly dependent on the in-plane ligand.
